Community Alert: RCMP Renews Call in Thompson Unsolved Homicide
On April 14, 2026, the Manitoba RCMP launched a new public awareness effort in Thompson, Manitoba to encourage community members to come forward with information about the unsolved homicide of Steven Seela, who was killed in November 2024. Billboards and posters have been placed in key locations across the city to keep this case visible and to reach people who may have crucial details but have not yet spoken with police.
Investigators emphasize that the homicide investigation has remained active since 2024, but they need additional information to advance the case. Officers believe there are individuals in the Thompson community who know something about what happened to Steven and are urging them to contact the dedicated tipline. Even details that may seem minor or already known to police could prove vital.
